I Say Sweater
I say sweater, you say jumper;
you say chips and I say fries.
I say soccer, you say football;
you say lads and I say guys.
You say trainers, I say sneakers;
I say loan and you say lend.
Lots of things we say don’t match, but
only one word matters: “friend.”
you say chips and I say fries.
I say soccer, you say football;
you say lads and I say guys.
You say trainers, I say sneakers;
I say loan and you say lend.
Lots of things we say don’t match, but
only one word matters: “friend.”
